ART ON POETRY
20 April - 25 September, 2011

Twelve internationally acclaimed artists curated by KALEID editions engage with the Saison Poetry Library’s collection in a diverse programme of exhibitions, interventions, residencies and participatory events. Prompted by the Festival of Britain celebrations, contemporary artists are given a rare opportunity to draw upon Southbank Centre’s archives and re-consider British identity 60 years on.

KALEID editions represents ‘artists who do books’, advocating public library collections and an interdisciplinary approach to artists’ books. Visit the Saison Poetry Library on Level 5 at Royal Festival Hall to discover the most comprehensive and accessible collection of poetry from 1912 in Britain.
